The most well-known alien invasion scenarios involve the aliens landing on Earth, destroying or abducting people, fighting and defeating Earth’s military forces, and then destroying Earth’s major cities. Usually, the bulk of the story follows the battles between the invaders and Earth’s armies.
However, not all alien invasion stories follow these plots.
In some accounts, the alien invaders will covertly subvert human society using disguises, shapechanging, creating conflict in humanity and let humans destroy themselves, or human allies.
In other depictions, the aliens score an overwhelming victory over humanity and the bulk of the story occurs after the aliens have taken over.
Sometimes, the aliens do not come from space, but from another dimension.
So what would happen if aliens would take over your character set? I played with a DIY font set and a small script allowing to change any font on any site you visited. You could drag the bookmarklet to your favorites bar in a browser and click on it when visiting a site to see the invasion. It's now offline.
